Mansfield had 11 shots in the first-half.

That’s the most Arsenal have conceded in the first-half of a match this season, in all comps.

Arsenal scored their second corner goal of the day v Chelsea.

Arsenal scored their second corner goal of the day v Chelsea.

16 - Arsenal's 16 goals from corners in the Premier League this season is the joint-most by any side in a single campaign, alongside Oldham in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and the Gunners themselves in 2023-24. Angles.

With Max Dowman & Marli Salmon in the line up, Arsenal are the first ever Premier League side to start a game with two players aged 16 or under in any competition.

"Hold talks"...This is getting utterly ridicuous.

As Brian Glanville said (and said again, and again), "it's football. It doesn't matter".

I'm a bit more concerned by crooks, criminals, autocratic states and dodgy private equity funds buying our clubs myself, but priorities, eh.
